Engine Block Inspection

Engine blocks are chemically washed and cleaned to remove all oil and grease from the block.  Oil passages are cleaned and verified that there are no blockages.

Blocks are laser measured with a laser tracker to verify the block geometry and sizes. This measurement will provide detailed information on block geometry.  This includes sizes and position of the main bores, size and position of cam bores, deck height and flatness, cylinder sizes and position to determine any machining or other dimensional repairs that may be required.  After machining of the large blocks measurements are taken again with the laser tracker and final reports provided on block geometry and sizes.
